Image Co-ops and Contests
By Sharon Brown on February 23, 2011

One day I was wandering around Cubits, checking out the blossoms, checking out the shrubs, checking out the chats, the how-to's, the how not to's, the weather, wondering if spring would ever get here and then I found Mamajack. I checked her out, too. Of all things, I found a writing contest...

Thank you so much Sharon for the article. What I like about the co-ops are the great deals I got on non-plant items also. Such as Atlas garden gloves and EON plant tags. What a deal I got on them.
Here is one of my EON plant markers. The birds can't pull them up, squirrel can't dig them up and the sun does not damage them. Hurray! Boy am I a happy camper now.

This whole thing kinda reminds me of the time my dentist tried laughing gas on me - Mamajack's sense of humor makes you think you're not spending any money at all - just like that gas gave me the illusion it wasn't REALLY the dentist I was visiting.

But, honestly, how often do we get to do something both practical and rip-snorting, belly-laughing fun? Mamajack's swaps has it all.

ps - I won't be in the contest, so if anyone wants to use or modify my silly remarks, feel free - just wanted to drop in and say hello.

Sharran,

Well, maybe you and I can sing a duet for Mamajack. I already started saying a day spent with a Mamajack coop is like a day spent with laughing gas in my dentist's chair.

So, to you, a day spent with a Mamajack coop would be like...?????

heehee

anyone can chime in - maybe we'll wind up with a choir singing Mamajack coop praises?

Nope....
They just keep me around for words and stuff....I don't know a thing about coops. Guess I can learn...

I don't think I've done enough coops with Mamajack to knowledgeably make a verdict about her coops, either. I've mainly been impressed with her creative flexibility and humor when unexpected surprises appear that might throw some into a tizzy. To me, that is a quality of the human spirit that goes across all boards.

Sharran, since you're in sales, you know as much about Tizzy-Class surprises as does Mamajack.

just saying...:whistling:

I'm not really in sales, more in decorating and displays, but I know a little about tizzies and their surprises.

A temper fit caused by various things....

A little fit of indecision
A bad hair day
A running a bit late day
A dead battery in the car day
A loose rubber thingy in the windshield wiper
A cat on top of the brick arches reaching down for the ceiling fan

Those kinds of things....they create tizzies.
